Hi wonderful people!

I took the NCLEX today after graduating in December (took forever to get my ATT because of the holidays).

first off, holy moly, getting in there is almost more intense than going through immigration..!! And they were bringing people in and starting them 15 minutes before time.

A little about my prep... my exit HESI was 967. We had to do HURST review in school and I re-watched videos and did the specialty content. My HURST median was 83.5 (mean 82). I also did the entire UWORLD question bank and reviewed rationales; first go-around I was hovering around 60% on those. Bumped up when I did them over after reviewing.

On the test itself I got I think about 11 SATA, no hotspot or math, one sequence/drag-and-drop. There was stuff I knew immediately, and there was stuff I outright guessed. I held my breath at question 75 and sure enough, got cut off. But I am in NO WAY confident heh.

I haven't done the PVT (trying to resist..!).

Words of solace/encouragement/reassurance muchly appreciated!!! Haha.

ETA-- okay, I caved and did the trick. "Good" popup, for whatever that's worth (taking it with a crate full of salt haha).

Congrats!! Based on what I've seen, seems the good pop up is pretty reliable for the most part. Hopefully, you're in a state that is faster at delivering the news than the state I'm in (CA)! It seems so random here ... anywhere from 48 hours to WEEKS. I took my test a few days ago too and still waiting (got the good pop up too ... and continue to) but would feel so much better to know for sure.

Sending vibes of good luck to you! You will pass! You will pass!

I'm still waiting on my ATT (December graduate), my school is stupid, disorganized, and just stupid. I just want to test before the test plan changes in March. Big sigh...all i can do is wait.
